Summary

340,000 Team Fortress 2 fans signed the #FixTF2 petition amidst an ongoing bot crisis in the game.
All of these names were then printed into a book and hand delivered to Valve HQ in Washington to try and raise awareness with the developer directly.

A TF2 fan walks into Valve HQ; that isn't the start of a bad joke, that's what happened last week. After 340,000 players signed the #FixTF2 petition, the names were printed onto a book that was then hand delivered to the developer in Bellevue, Washington.

The community has been calling on Valve for some time now to address 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the rampant bot problem, as getting into a match with only human opponents is exceedingly difficult. Community servers are one workaround, but they're not a substitute for the real thing. So, was born.

For the past five years, Team Fortress 2 has become nearly unplayable. The game's official servers have been overrun by hordes of cheating aimbots while Valve has remained steadfast in their refusal to adequatly tackle the problem.

Focused squarely on the bot problem, not the lack of updates or even ye🍷t-to-be-fixed bugs, it has a dedicated website encouraging fans to post on Reddit, Twitter, and all other social media platforms about the crisis.

The website also hosted the petition (which is now closed), and they've been planning since June of this year to get every signature into Valve's hands. Now, that's been made a reality, and you can see the incredibly impressive volume containing the names of each and every player distraught enough to sign below.

Whether Valve Bothers Looking At The Book Is Another Matter

From the looks of things, the book wasn't handed to an employee or actually 'delivered' so much as left in the foyer — one commenter even jokes that the janitor might simply throw it away. So, we'll just have to wait and see if it makes its way up the chain to Gabe himself, but it's at least bringing more attention to the movement on social media.

Team Fortress 2 is 17 years old at this point, but it remains one of the most-played games on Steam with an average of over 60,000 players. With the bot crisis, it still tops incredibly popular games like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dead by Daylight, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Rainbow Six Siege, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overwatch 2, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Sims 4, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destiny 2. But despite its continuing success nearly t๊wo decades on, it has been left to rot.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:L🅰eft 4 Dead 2 is also suffering major 🐓issues like DDOS attacks and an unchecked to🌌xic community.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Counter-Strike 2 fans are starting to feel a similar bitter resentment building as all attention shifts towards Deadlock, the third-person MOBA which is currently thriving in an invite only beta (168ꦰ澳洲幸运5开奖网:although it too has a cheating problem). Soon I might even be sat here writing about the #FixCS2 movement, but today, it's the Team Fortress 2 community who is mobilising to try and rid the game of cheaters.
